Font3D-Random helps you create colorful and always refreshing HEADERS and BANNERS for any web design requirements. You can
generate any kind of one-liner 3D texts with just a click or two. Using 16 named colors, 160 fonts [mostly standard XP fonts],
7 font sizes, 9 line heights, 2 font sytles [Regular and
Italic] and 2 font weights [Regular and Bold], you are choosing from
among 100s of 1000s of always-fresh RANDOM combinations!

1.Type a name or phrase in the yellow text box2.Click on an item from the 6 header and banner select menus3.Scroll the 100 headers or banners to pick a good one4.Take a screenshot, crop, resize and be
done!

How Many Designs Per Click & What Is Special

Every click gets you a new set of 100 random designs so just pick and choose what looks good to you. Don't like the 100? Just tap again for the next 100
designs. The chances of you getting the exact same design often are so remote, I'd be happy to increase the number of colors and fonts if I am wrong. It's like you'll almost never run out of new and fresh random designs. If
you'd like to, for one design, grab the code from the yellow textarea below
the design and tweak, tweak, tweak! For the whole page, rightclick and save the frame as a html page.

REQUIREMENTS

FireFox [6.0.2] or Chrome [15.0] on an XP pc/laptop that can run cscript.exe.

TWO WAYS TO START FONT3D-RANDOM

1.Start it from StartMenu\All Programs\Sqlhtm\Font3dRandom. 2.Run Font3dRandom.exe at C:\Sqlhtm\Font3dRandom.

TWO GREAT WAYS TO USE FONT3D-RANDOM

1.MAKE AN IMAGE

This is the preferred and easiest method. Just take a screen image of
your 3D design, crop, resize and save in any image format that you
like. [JPG, GIF, PNG].

2.USE CODE

This is a little more work-intensive but offers a ton of creative
possibilities by embedding the code in your web page. Click inside the textarea below
the 3D text, select all with Ctrl-A, copy and paste it at the
required place in your web page and change the font name, font size or any
of the other parameters.

NOTES

1. BROWSERS

FIREFOX: When I started this project, Firefox was the browser that always rendered all the designs consistently well. While that's a great thing, also note that the headers and banners with the "ROMAN" font displays like wireframes which is cool.Also remember to use firefox if you want to save the whole set of 100 designs as a html page using the [This frame->Save frame as] option from the rightclick menu.

CHROME: Chrome does excellently while giving more screen space when the screen is not maximized using the F11-Fullscreen key. Chrome displays the symbol fonts really well and some of the random designs make the images look really awesome. Of the following six, look out especially for the webdings and wingdings fonts[Wingdings, webdings, presswriter symbols, mt extra, ms reference specialty, ms outlook].

Remember to enable popups so you can use the "POPUP" button on top of every 100 designs. Be warned that your text/phrase is replaced with the default text when you use the "BACK" button next to the "POPUP" button or the "BACK" button of the browser. [Tip:Select and save the input string as soon as you type it so you can just paste it after pressing the BACK button]

4.SPACE CHARACTER

When you scroll down the 100 headers of banners and select the code from the yellow textboxes on the top left of every design for use in web pages, replace the SPACE character[" "] with [&nbsp;] without the square brackets if required.Ex. Good&nbsp;Morning

5.DASH CHARACTER

Avoid using hiphens[dashes] but if needed you can, when you use Font3dRandom yellow text input box and also when you use the generated code from yellow text area on the top left of every design, use a space character before and after the hiphen[dash] character[-] if required.
